Hi there,

I've never done something like that but I can imagine you could do the validation in your controller. When the action is invoked you can check the values received in the params hash and act accordingly.

What you should have is a new model (e.g. AdReply), so that that form points to AdRepliesController#create, which then attempts to create the model, and redirects wherever you need to if successful/failed. All the validations are then on that model and are independent of your ClassifiedModel.

Cheers,
